Believe it or not, the fight against the creep of fall into summer has already begun. The disrespect is at an all-time high. It really hit home for me last July when a Halloween display was out at a grocery store at the beach.

The beach? They’re making their money off of summer vacations in July. What are they doing? Our very own Senior Editor of Content Development has already started receiving reports of Halloween decorations in the wild.

My own wife has fallen victim to it. This weekend, while her parents were in town and the temperature was well into the 90s, she came home with a Halloween-themed bag. But all hope is not lost.

That’s where golf influencer Hailey Ostrom comes in. I know she was in Sunday Screencaps taking on Lake Powell, but she stepped up again for summer on Monday, still out at the lake.

Her message over the weekend on Twitter was slightly different from the one she delivered on Instagram. This message was straight to the point, “Just here to remind you it’s summertime.”

How do you do that? You do that out on a boat in a bikini enjoying the water. You also do that by dusting off a trusty play from the content playbook. That’s what Hailey did on Monday.

She pulled out her driver, as she’s done before, and she crushed golf balls off the moonscape all in the name of respecting summer.

That is how you fight the creep of fall. Listen, fall is great, mostly because it brings with it football, but let’s keep the Halloween decorations in the warehouse until fall arrives.

We do that by not purchasing the early arriving fall items and shaming those around us who do. We also fight the creep by smashing golf balls off of moonscape in a bikini.
